She finished up in fourth place alongside then partner Curtis Pritchard.

Then in 2023, she returned to the Love Island family as the social media presenter for Love Island USA and the Love Island Games. 

The following year, she landed a role as host of Love Island USA: Aftersun, where she proved popular with viewers and is now reportedly set to return to the job for 2025. 

Following her most recent stint on Love Island, Maura jetted to Australia to star on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, where she first met Danny.

However, things were not meant to be and the couple called off their romance earlier this year. 

Just weeks later, Maura was spotted kissing rocker Danny at a BRITs after party, which resulted in Danny’s wife Georgia Horsley temporarily moving out of the family home amid the scandal. 

Meanwhile, Maura’s name is one of those attached to a Love Island spin-off, which will air this year and will feature some of the biggest names in the show’s history.

According to The Sun, other names attached to the series include Zara McDermott, Dani Dyer and Ekin-Su Culculoglu.

The series is expected to air ahead of the upcoming series in June, with the publication reporting it will take on a ‘Gogglebox style format’.

A source said: ‘You can expect quite a few of them to reveal some seriously behind-the-scenes stories from their time in the villa.

‘Love Island fans will be thrilled at the prospect, not least because ITV have brought back some of the show’s best known stars.
